PumpkinSoup Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 Good evening! I'm new here and a little bit nervous, but allow me to introduce myself. I am a second year college student studying physics. Never really been into sports or fitness of any kind (I was on the swim team all through junior high and highschool, but to say my performance there was "unenthusiastic" would be the understatement of the century). I was raised by my computer and a healthy dose of video games, both of which cultivated in me a love of technology and rpg/adventure games to the detriment of my physical fitness. As a result, I grew up to be one of the huskier girls in the neighborhood - a title that I maintained until well into my junior year of highschool, when I got braces and inadvertently lost a good thirty pounds (eating was way too painful, so I just drank liquid meals). That kind of served as a wake up call to me - having never really known what "thin" felt like, I was completely ecstatic about my new size and desperate to learn how to maintain it, so I cleaned up my diet. So far, I've been successful with keeping off the weight, but now I'd really like to put on some muscle. I'm starting with a full-body barbell routine (3x a week) and would like to do a chin up by the end of the year (ambitious, right?). I hope to make some new friends around here and find new motivation! Level 1Pixie AdventurerSTR 1|DEX 1|STA 1|CON 7|WIS 4|CHA 1 Link to comment

PumpkinSoup Posted January 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 Thanks substix! I haven't really found what I've wanted to do quite yet, as I've just transferred over and I'm still feeling around, but I highly encourage you to take the leap - it's really a blast!

sumdawgtwigg Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 Welcome to the rebellion! Make that barbell your new best friend! Being a rpg geek easily translates over into fitness. Keeping track of your own stats and leveling up your life can get very addicting!
